Research at the Centre for Genomic Regulation reveals that collagen exists as a pliable liquid condensate inside cells rather than the rigid rod-like structure previously assumed. This discovery challenges established cell biology dogmas and suggests a liquid extrusion hypothesis for how the body exports its primary structural building block. Understanding this phase-separated state offers new avenues for treating medical conditions related to fibrosis, wound healing, and cancer progression through targeted cellular interventions.
